The package 1 for cut flowers shown in FIG. 10 is provided. The package 1 for cut flowers is made of, for example, a transparent plastic film, and has one end (upper end in the drawing) and the other end (lower end in the drawing).
Have openings 2 and 3 respectively, and have a bag shape that gradually narrows from one end to the other end. Thus, as shown by the arrow A, the cut flowers 4 need only be inserted into the cut flower package 1 from the wide mouth 2 at one end, which is much easier than the conventional paper sheet or plastic sheet wrapping. It has the advantage that it can be packaged.

[0003]

FIG. 11 shows a state in which the cut flowers 4 are packaged by the cut flower package 1.
For example, the lower end of the stem or branch portion 4a protrudes from the mouth 3 for water absorption, and most of the stem or branch portion 4a, the leaf portion 4b, and the flower portion 4c are cut flowers. In the package 1 for use. In addition, one end portion of the cut flower package 1 containing the flower portion 4c is wider than the other end portion, and the flower portion 4c is wider than the stem or branch portion 4a.
Is accommodated with room.

Now, when removing the cut flowers 4 from this state,
Generally, as shown by an arrow B in FIG. 12, the cut flowers 4 are pulled out from the wide mouth 2 at one end of the cut flower package 1. However, in order to take out the cut flowers 4 in this manner, it is necessary to pull out the cut flowers 4 by holding the flower portion 4c or the stem or branch portion 4a near the flower portion 4c. In this case, a plurality of stem or branch portions 4a and leaf portions 4b are bound by the gradually narrowing portion of the package 1 and are densely packed, so that the cut flowers 4 are greatly removed. For this reason, the removal of the cut flowers 4 must be forcibly performed with a force that exceeds the resistance, and the cut flowers 4 can be removed by this undue force.
Sometimes bleeds from the flower portion 4c or the stem or branch portion 4a near the flower portion 4c held as described above.

On the other hand, the cut flowers 4 accommodated in the cut flower package 1
In order to take out the cut flowers, as shown by an arrow C in FIG. However, as described above, in the cut flower package 1, a plurality of stems or branches 4a and leaves 4
and b are tightly bound at the gradually narrowed portion of the package 1, and this is also the resistance of the cut flowers 4 to be pushed out.
Cut flower 4 was difficult to come out, and it was troublesome.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is therefore an object of the present invention to facilitate the packaging of cut flowers, and to take out the packaged cut flowers easily and quickly without damaging the cut flowers. The present invention is to provide a package for cut flowers that can be used.

In order to achieve the above object, a package for cut flowers of the present invention comprises, firstly, a plastic film having at least one end with a mouth, and one end to the other end. And a perforated tearable portion in a bag shape gradually narrowing to the portion. According to this, a cut flower can be taken out by tearing the package at the perforated tearable portion or extending the tear to a further portion therefrom.

In this case, if the tearable portion is formed in a direction extending from one end to the other end, the package can be torn in a direction substantially perpendicular to the direction of the mouth. ,
In the case where a wavy portion is formed on the periphery of one end portion and two strippable portions are formed from valleys adjacent to the wavy portion, the ridge of the wavy portion is pinched so that the package is oriented in the direction of the mouth. It can be easily torn in the direction perpendicular to it, and in the case where the severable portion is formed over the entire length from one end to the other end, the package body is cut from one end in a direction almost perpendicular to the direction of the mouth. It can be torn along the entire length to the other end.

On the other hand, in the case where the tearable portion is formed in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction extending from one end to the other end, the package can be torn in a direction substantially parallel to the direction of the mouth. Also, in the case where the tearable portion is formed on both the front film and the back film, the tearing of the package can be performed without the trouble of selecting the front film and the back film.

Second, the cut flower package of the present invention is characterized in that two cuts are formed from one end instead of the perforated cuttable portion. According to this one
The package can be pinched at the portion between the cuts and cut from the cut to remove the cut flowers.
